The BBC has recently updated its UK iPlayer iPad app, making it a universal application that supports the iPhone and iPod touch, along with Apple's iPad. Furthermore, the app now supports streaming over 3G, meaning UK-based Apple fans can enjoy watching live TV through the BBC iPlayer app while connected to a 3G cellular data network.

This week, we saw Apple release a minor software update, BBC iPlayer launched in a series of European countries and we heard that Justin Bieber uses a jailbroken iPhone. Read on, and take a look at this week's top industry, iPhone and iPad news.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has now launched BBC iPlayer in 11 countries across Europe, as expected. The service can be accessed for €6.99/month, or for a €49.99 annual fee. Furthermore, the BBC also released a "global" version of its BBC iPlayer iPad app, which can be downloaded in the App Store for free.

Great news, UK Apple fans: ITV has recently released a universal ITV Player application, which is currently available to download in the App Store for free. The app allows users to watch ITV shows on an iOS device, on-the-go, subscription-free.

BBC iPlayer is in the process of planning its international rollout, but don't get too excited - before the online service hits the USA, it's heading to western Europe, apparently by the end of this year.
